What is WaveSpeedAI? Image, Video and Audio Models in One Account

Sep 17, 2026

WaveSpeedAI is a unified platform for AI media generation. The idea behind it is simple: instead of creating a separate account for every model you want to try, you get one workspace where image, video, and audio models all draw on the same credit balance and the same API.

wavespeed.lol is an independent third-party experience for exploring those models. It is not operated by, endorsed by, or affiliated with the WaveSpeed AI team.

One account for every format

Media work rarely stays in one format. A product photo needs a short video, a video needs a music bed, and a landing page needs a set of stills. Signing up for three services to do that means three bills, three sets of keys, and three quality checks.

On this site the formats share one account:

  • Images - text-to-image and image-to-image, 2 credits per image.
  • Video - text-to-video (6 credits), image-to-video (8 credits), and video-to-video (10 credits).
  • Music and audio - 10 credits per generation.

Every generation deducts its cost from the balance shown above the generator, so you always know what a session has used.

The model library

The platform brings together models for each format, including Seedance 2.5, Wan 3.0, FLUX, Qwen Image, MiniMax, and Kling. The image, video, and music generators let you pick the model that fits the work rather than locking you into one provider.

Credits and pricing

Generating requires an active subscription. Plans are monthly and annual, and both include credits that renew every period:

PlanPriceCredits per month
Starter$19600
Pro$491,800
Studio$994,000

Annual billing costs less per month. Because every generation has a fixed cost, you can translate a plan into output before you buy: 600 credits is roughly 300 images, 100 text-to-video clips, or 60 music generations. The pricing page shows the current plans, and the pricing and credits guide works through the maths in more detail.

The unified API

Every model is reachable through the same request shape:

curl https://api.wavespeed.ai/v1/generate

API keys are created and managed under Settings -> API keys. Because the API is shared across formats, integrating image generation does not oblige you to write a second integration for video later - the desktop and API guide covers how the two fit together.

How to start

  1. Sign in with Google.
  2. Pick a plan on the pricing page.
  3. Open a generator, describe what you want, and generate.

If you are starting with stills, the image generator guide covers model selection and prompt structure. The documentation has the reference material for credits, models, and the API.
